Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 November 2018.

All research outputs

#6,570,666

of 12,493,082 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#6,467

of 8,737 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#119,950

of 277,881 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#53

of 59 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 12,493,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 8,737 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.9. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 277,881 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
